St John's Church Fete 2025

St John's Church Fete was held on the 19th July 2025 on a warm, dry, somewhat cloudy day.  Attendance was greater than the last few years when the weather was wet and windy.  One innovation this year was a live band 'One for the Road' who provided the entertainment. The fete was opened by Wayne Pullen who also provided sausages and burgers for the barbecue. It raised about £2,500 gross.
